why raid 0?

 

SSDs are fast enough by themselves.

Desktop: Intel i5-3570K (stock) | Asus Sabertooth Z77 | G.Skill RipJaw 16GB 1600MHz | Samsung 840 120GB | EVGA GTX 680 SC+ 2GB | Fractal Design R4 | Windows 8 Pro (soon to have dual boot Mac OS X)

Retina Macbook Pro : Intel i7-3840QM | 16GB 1600 MHz | 256GB SSD | Nvidia GT 650M 1GB | Mac OS X 10.8.5

I hate boot up times and load times

With a 120GB 840, boot time is about 8 seconds. Are you planning on getting it down to 1 second?

So im gonna get 2 samsung evos and im wondering how well they run in raid0. And could i still use all the software for it if its in raid 0?

 

It is less expensive to buy a single larger capacity SSD. RAID 0 produces great benchmarks but in the real world it only makes a noticeable difference in applications that do large sequential reads and writes. In highly random access environments, most desktops, the benefit of RAID 0 is miniscule.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

Congratulations, you've possibly made your boot time longer.

I didnt buy them yet. Does it make the boot time longer?

It can. The only benefits a RAID 0 provides are in sequential operations or enterprise workloads.

I guess one of the basic benefits of RAID 0 SSDs is that its a simple way to increase drive capacity.  Youknow.. because its cool to have a lot of :C drive :)
